Attached is a patch against the CVS repository that fixes the ResultSet absolute() problem.

There's also a little fix for the getRow() method. While fixing
absolute(), I noticed that getRow() wasn't quite following the spec: it
wasn't returning 0 when the ResultSet wasn't positioned on a row.  I've
started a ResultSet test case and included it as well.
